This series, which quickly became an international phenomenon, consists of the novels The Housemaid (2022), The Housemaid’s Secret (2023), The Housemaid Is Watching (2024), and an additional novella, The Housemaid’s Wedding (2024). 

Each book delves deeper into the characters’ destinies, gradually revealing a world marked by secrets, manipulation, and psychological tension.

The first volume, on which the film is based, tells the story of Millie, a young woman with a troubled past who wants to start over. She accepts a job as a housemaid for a wealthy family, and at first everything seems like the perfect opportunity: a safe place to live, a steady income, and the hope of a new beginning. 

However, as the days go by, Millie realizes that the elegance and good manners of the Winchester family hide dark truths. Strange behavior, strict rules, and unpredictable reactions turn the ideal job into a psychological nightmare.

The sequels — The Housemaid’s Secret and The Housemaid Is Watching — expand the universe created by the author and explore the consequences of Millie’s choices, introducing new characters, new conflicts, and new secrets. 

In each volume, the author maintains suspense through unexpected twists and by emphasizing the social tensions between the privileged and the vulnerable. 

The novella The Housemaid’s Wedding offers fans additional insight into the characters’ lives, rounding out the story on an emotional note.

The film adaptation promises to capture the essence of the original novel. Sydney Sweeney masterfully portrays Millie, bringing to life the character’s fragility, courage, and inner turmoil. 

The cast also includes Amanda Seyfried, Brandon Sklenar, Michele Morrone, and Elizabeth Perkins, who contribute to the intensity and complexity of the story. 

Filming, which took place in New Jersey between January and March 2025, highlights the contrast between the apparent luxury of the Winchester family and the dark reality hidden behind closed doors.

The Housemaid is shaping up to be a gripping adaptation that preserves the tense atmosphere of the novels. Themes of manipulation, deceptive appearances, and psychological fragility are present in both the books and the film, illustrating that a perfect world is not always what it seems. 

The book series complements the film, offering a broader and deeper perspective on Millie’s story, making The Housemaid a complex experience—both literary and cinematic.

The novels are available in Romania at Bookzone Publishing House.
